Beach weddings are considerably less formal than church weddings.  A Bohemian style or sleek casual look works much better than big poofy dresses with layers of petty coats.  By no means does this mean you need to forgo glamor and elegance, but the romance of a beach wedding is in the simple elegance of the attire and the magic of the beach itself.  Tea length dresses and empire waist wedding dresses are lovely for a beach wedding.  An empire waist adds a nostalgic touch of romance to the bride and complements any figure.  Choose beach wedding dresses that are made of natural, light fibers such as cotton.  

When choosing beach wedding dresses, keep in mind whether you will be married on the beach itself or at a hotel overlooking the beach.  If you will be on the beach, you will want to go with a dress that doesn't trail on the ground.  Beaches also tend to be fairly windy, so unless you want to wear a light veil, different hair and head accessories are in order.  Flower rings are a very classy touch, as are rhinestone hair clips, beautiful hair bands, and simple crowns.  Flowery hair wreaths are perhaps the most popular and romantic head accessory.  There are many different styles of classy flower or butterfly hair clips that are lovely as well.  Simple ribbons woven into long hair can substitute for a more formal veil for a classy, beautiful look.  If you have longer hair, wearing it down or in a soft up-do both look lovely.  If you do choose to wear a hat, make sure it is pinned well so that it stays on through the beach wind!

Because a beach wedding is less formal, many brides choose to go barefoot on the sand. If barefoot isn't for you, there are many classy sandals and flip-flops that complement beach wedding dresses very nicely for that perfect look. Anything with a heel is going to create problems for you in the sand, so stick with flat, open sandals or flip-flops when getting married on the beach. If you choose to go barefoot, make sure your man is too! Classy beach wear for you man will look great with a few rolls in his pants legs to complement your style.

When choosing flowers for a beach wedding, simplicity will complement your dress and look the best. Consider carrying a small bundle of white lilies or romantic tropical flowers that complement the colors of your bridal party. Your bouquet need not be elaborate to be elegant.

One of the nicest things about beach wedding dresses is that they aren't as complicated as a more formal gown to order and purchase. Very often you can find the perfect dress and wear it off the rack. If it does require any tailoring, the modifications are generally simple such as adjusting a hem length. There is no need to sit and stand for hours of pinning. Beach wedding dresses are also more economical than a traditional gown – leaving you more to spend on the honeymoon!
